Homer Bailey allowed four hits over seven innings and combined with two relievers on a 6-0 shutout of the Brewers on Wednesday.

The loss drops the Brewers 2 1/2 games back of the Rockies in the wild card chase. Bailey saved his best for last this season. It's the first time he's had a scoreless start of at least five innings since Aug. 12, 2016, also against Milwaukee. He last pitched at least seven scoreless innings on Aug. 7, 2014, his final start before all of his arm problems started up. He ends this year 6-9 with a 6.43 ERA in 18 starts.

Homer Bailey allowed four runs on seven hits over four innings of work in a loss to the Cardinals on Thursday.

Bailey was victimized by a pair of Dexter Fowler doubles among the Cardinals' seven hits, the first leading to a run in the first inning and the second plating two more runs in the third. Bailey also walked two while striking out three before exiting. The loss dropped him to 5-9 with an ugly 6.96 ERA and 1.75 WHIP through 17 starts this year. A start Wednesday against the Brewers should put a cap on the 31-year-old's season. Fri, Sep 22, 2017 12:44:00 AM

Homer Bailey earned a rare win by holding the Pirates to one run in 5 2/3 innings on Friday.

He punched out seven batters, walked two and surrendered five base hits in one of his best outings of what has been a rough season. The veteran has struggled to regain his form after spending two-and-a-half years recovering from multiple arm surgeries. He is now 5-8 with a gruesome 6.86 ERA and 1.73 WHIP in 16 starts.

Homer Bailey coughed up five runs in six-plus innings and took a loss to the Mets on Saturday.

His disastrous season isn't getting any better. He allowed a two-run homer to catcher Kevin Plawecki in the second inning and an RBI single to first baseman Dominic Smith in the sixth. He came back out for the seventh and drilled the first batter with a pitch before walking pinch-hitting pitcher Jacob deGrom. Bailey was then relieved but the bullpen let both runners come around to score. Bailey falls to 4-8 with a 7.26 ERA after 15 starts. He spent two and a half years recovering from multiple arm surgeries and has really struggled to regain his prior form since returning. Sat, Sep 9, 2017 10:57:00 PM

Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports SP Anthony DeSclafani has recovered from his elbow injury and will be fully ready for action at the start of spring training.

DeSclafani missed the entire 2017 season with a sprained UCL in his right elbow after opting for rehabilitation rather than Tommy John surgery. He could be a nice sleeper this year if he can return to the form that saw him register a 3.28 ERA through 20 starts in 2016. The Reds' rotation was crushed by injury last year but should be back to full strength this season. Homer Bailey, Brandon Finnegan, Luis Castillo and Tyler Mahle are expected to round out the rotation.
